How do you ensure that your practice not only survives but thrives, long after you've stepped back? It's about creating a legacy, something that stands the test of time and continues to impact the community positively. 

So, why is succession planning so important in a medical practice? It's about continuity and legacy. Without a clear plan, your practice could face uncertainty or decline after you retire. Succession planning ensures that the quality of care and the business health of the practice are maintained. It’s not just about who will take over, but also about preserving the values and quality of care that have been the hallmark of your practice. 

The first step is selecting an heir apparent or two or three. What should physicians look for in a potential successor? It's crucial to look beyond clinical expertise. The ideal successor should have what we call "business owner DNA." This includes leadership skills, a deep understanding of the healthcare industry, and a strong business acumen. 

It’s also about finding someone who aligns with the practice's vision and values. They need to be someone who can not only maintain but also build upon the legacy that you’ve created over many years.
